WATEYR-MOTORIFOR BLOWERS FOR FORGEYS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 2, 1906.

Application filed May 29, 1905. Serial No. 262.837.

To all whom it may concern! Be it known that I, NELsoN TINGLEY, acitizen of the United States of America, residing at Scranton, in thecounty of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Water-Motors for Blowers for Forges, ofwhich the followin is a specification.

My invention re ates to water-motors for blowers for for es.

The object 0 the invention is to provide an improved arrangement ofwater-motor for blowers for producing a blast for blacksmiths for es.

In addition to the above other objects of the invention relate tocertain details of construction and combinations and operations ofparts, all of which will more fully hereinafter appear.

What -I claim as new will be set forth in the claims at the end of thespecification.

- I have illustrated my invention in the accompan 'ng drawing, which isa view in s'ectiona elevation.

Numeral 1 is a floor-plate fastened to floor 2 by bolts or screws, as at3.

4 is a pipe coming up through floor-plate 1, to which it is fastened byset-screw, so as to hold frame 5 (into which it is screwed) at theproper height and serving to carry away the water from Wheel 6.

7 is a cover over wheel 6, resting on a raised edge 8. This raised edge,8 forms annular runway for the water from wheel 6. The bottom of thisrunway has' sufiicient slope to drain the water into box 9 and fromthence into pipe 4.

5 is the main frame and is supported by pipe 4 and pipe or rod 4*.

The feed-pipe 25 passes up through box 9 t0 valves and nozzles 10, thevalves having stems 10 reaching up through cover 7.

The frame 5, reaching across the machine to 5", serves as a pan orrunway for wastewater, a bearing for shaft 18, and to which is fastenedthe cover 12 of fan-case 11 by bolts, as at 13, leaving an air-spacebetween the water and fan-case to prevent the water being frozen by thecold air in fan-case. To the plate 12 is fastened fan-case 11 by severalclamps, as at 16, allowing the tube 15 to be placed in any position.This case receives the air at the center of under side and forces it outat tube 15.

' 18 is a perpendicular shaft connecting fan 17 with water-wheelG and isadjusted by siderable force.

jam-nut 19. 19 has a flange to cover buckets and prevent the waste waterfrom'reaching oil-hole 20.

6 is a water-wheel (here placed horizontally) of cone sha e with severalrows of buckets forming w eels of different diameters and 1 'ng in thesame plane as each of the nozzles 10. Instead of having the sides" ofthe cone straight I forig'i right an les for each row of buckets torest'in' by which the outer angle 6 prevents the waste water fromstriking the other buckets and reducing the speed. The bearings 22 arepreferably ball-bearin s. l

in the top of cover 7 I place a small cover 23 directly over the shaftl8.- This cover can be'opened in'oilin at 20.

24 is a tube to con uct-the cold air from under the floor to the fan, soas not to take the warm air from the shop inpold weather.

The object of the'cone Water-wheel 6 is to provide water-wheels ofdifi'ejrent diameters in order that different speeds can be ob;- tainedwithout earing. T

In the operation of the blower the water is supposed to come from asource of supply located at such an altitude that it will cause thewater to issue from nozzles 10 with con- A jet of water issuing from anyone of these nozzles 10 and striking the buckets 21 in succession willcause the conewheel 6 to rotate very rapidly, which in turn rotates theshaft 18 and the fan'17. As the fan revolves it draws in air throughopening 14 or tube 24 and forces it out at pipe 15 to the fire,

Having thus fully described my invention, What'I w1sh to protect byLetters Patent is- 1. A water-motor composed of a coneshaped body havingseveral rows of buckets mounted-thereon and forming wheels of differentdiameters, a shaft, and nozzles substantially as described. I 1

2. The combination of a water-motor and blower driven thereby eachhaving a separate casing the casings being arranged with an air-spacebetween to prevent freezing substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

NELSON TINGLEY.
